I read plenty of surveys and articles about the fact more and more kids don't like milk, but I do not recall any ever mentioning WHY they don't like it. And where are they getting their calcium from now, if not from milk? I know broccolli for example is (surprisingly) supposed to be a good...

I need some help from my northeastern brothers and sisters. I like traveling and eating, and one of the sites I use to help me find places for quality cuisine is roadfood.com (click on "Restaurants" for the search feature; most of the photos on that site are excellent). While puttering around...

Since this theatrical subwoofer system debuted years before many of HTF's members were born, I thought it would be interesting to post about this theater-based subwoofer system. And if anyone was there when it debuted - I was! - go ahead & post your own impressions of it for this trip down...

Whew that was close! I've been seriously considering a pair of their floorstanders, so this is good news. I've heard about them for years, a kinda quirky - in a good way! - manufacturer but they build great speakers that don't cost much for what you get (which is what pre-1995 Advent [R.I.P.]...

Does anyone have any advice on where to go to get a quality print* - poster size, approximately 3ft x 3ft - of a high resolution digital file? I would like to do with this with this image of the Horsehead Nebula: http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/html/im0661.html Among others, a...

Guess I'll have to change my future plans as far as new speakers are concerned. :frowning: Here's the press release from NHT a.k.a. Now Hear This: Looks like their website is still up for the time being: nhthifi.com They were one of three companies I had planned on buying from for my...

Nice to see BA again selling some "Regular Joe" speakers with what looks like competent components and nice styling but are still affordable: Boston Acoustics Classic Series There's also a floorstander, another bookshelf model, a center channel and a subwoofer. And thank goodness a finish...

I just stumbled on these. Wow these look very nice and have comparable technical specs: Altec-Lansing Traditional Speaker series I like the smallest ;) model, the one with the 10" woofer and dome midrange & dome tweeter, all mounted in a conventionally styled blast-from-the-past cabinet...

These seem like "statement" pieces so aren't cheap and are waaaaaay out of my price range - $15k/pair for the P-39F floorstanders - but I think it's good to keep track of the newest technology that is out there, since it many times trickles down to gear I can afford. :cool: Klipsch Palladium...

Cerwin-Vega CLS-215: 2007 Award Winner/Budget Leader I have actually been thinking of buying the single 12" or 15" woofer version* for a music-only system, but couldn't find any reviews and finally stopped looking months ago and couldn't listen to them for myself since AFAIK they aren't sold...

I'm only 42 but am already running into people that have never heard of vacuum tubes, never heard a turntable playing an LP.....and have never seen or listened to a console stereo system. So thought maybe this post may be of use to such folks. ---> To make this easier to visualize doing a...

This 2-way acoustic-suspension model with an 8" woofer was sold starting in the late 80s to 2005 then it disappeared. Now it's back and just $150 a pair, originally going for around $250 per pair. Model Six Nope, they ain't exactly sexy - handsome and honest would be better adjectives :) -...

moderators: I know there is a hi-def hardware forum but not sure how many non-hi-def owners read it, so that is why I put this here but obviously move it or delete if needed According to two PS3 forums: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=23281 and...

Was cruising through Dynaudio's site and stumbled onto this: Dynaudio DM 2/10 Wow, while I've whined several times on this forum lamenting the passing of this particular driver configuration, which was very popular from the late 60s to the early 90s, I never thought it would come back &...

Dayton APA150 150W Power Amplifier excerpt from link above: Dimensions: 5-1/2" H x 6" W x 11-1/2" D With the built-in LP filter to eliminate the higher frequencies, looks like you can also use this as an amp for a passive subwoofer. FYI: there are seven customer reviews on that page so far.

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/wireless-...ree-302784.php I'm sure the sub nutz will complain these aren't real subwoofers because they don't reach down flat to 20Hz, but for many people I'll bet they will still be a useful addition for their HT system. The Infinity PS212 looks to be the...

:frowning: As a fan and owner of BA products* going back to the 80s, for me it's bad enough they are now selling a "value" series (something I figured would happen when they were sold to one of those investment groups) but to add insult to injury they are reeeealy unattractive, to me anyway...

"CEDIA 2007 - Pioneer launch flagship Elite Amplifier" But can it make a good margarita? :cool:

Parts needed: 1 spare speaker 1 spare receiver 1 interconnect speaker wire That's it. To "assemble" it: A/V receiver's subwoofer output ---> unused input on the secondary receiver (not a phono input!) ---> secondary receiver speaker output ---> speaker. * Sub's gain is...

When I used to sell HT gear, Sanyo was by far our most reliable TV brand. While they weren't the best performance-wise and lacked certain esoteric features their imaging capabilities weren't embarrassing, Chevy quality I guess you could say. This is the one I am looking at: 42" DP42647...

Press release (no pics here, see sites below) "Stereophonic".....:cool: The receiver reportedly will cost $899. On their U.K. site the stereo sacd/CD player has a page, along with the integrated amps (the ones at the top of the page) that I'll bet the U.S. receivers will be based on. The...

Just now changed the channel to MSNBC and they had a live report of a car crashing into a strip center. Why is this happening so much the past few years? And I see it happening here too. Is this another cell phone-related issue? **************************************************...

Saw this on another forum and was wondering if anyone here has seen this in person because even on a 8" x 6" video window, it looks impressive!: A rugby team doing the haka, a Maori intimidation dance: The All-Blacks team The All Blacks doing the Haka against France on a side note...

http://www.lamanaphotography.com/walmart.htm (warning, rather yucky photos in link) Though this could be nothing to worry about & might even be made up to get money illegally, if the story is true (author includes lots of photos and paperwork backing up their story), I would be completely...

Check this out! Predicta TV by Telstar I thought this was just another retro-style TV site, but they actually manufacture and sell these! The Predicta was a design originally sold by Philips in the 50s & you'll probably recognize it immediately since it's been featured in many movies...

Working in the education biz and visiting a lot of music-oriented places entails being around a lot of younger people, from early teens to twenty-somethings (I'm 41). Starting I guess around 2000 I noticed guys would offer their hand to shake but as soon as I did it the "regular guy" way they...

The VMD platform from NME. Not sure what this means for consumers & content providers: an HD format that's easy to adopt, or just something else to dilute & confuse the HD video market even further?

I found the following article while looking for something completely unrelated (opinions on how computers/technology seem to be causing much stress for many people these days) which I did find. I'm not quite sure who this person is but found his/her opinion interesting. FYI: I love instrumental...

http://www.becausesoundmatters.com/ I signed up for this back in November(?), received a confimation email....and that was it. So I guess they are lining up potential customers??? FYI: Warner Music was bought from Time/Warner a couple years ago & is now a privately-owned company so I hope...

Link Removed I've read about their speakers for years but have never actually heard them. And now that their Classic 3 bookshelf is on the cover of The Absolute Sound, I figured this is a good a time as any to ask & also to let others know about this respected, and sort of quirky...
